I wouldn't have thought that the North East faces any problem that the rest of the country doesn't. Less in fact as the Northern part of it especially doesn't have the traffic problems that face more heavily built up areas. Against that it has the problem is that doesn't have the associated population either.
Having said it would help if people checked the facts if they want to make viable suggestions. Pete Mooney on another thread asks if the Tour of the Border has been cancelled next year when the BC Calendar clearly states it is on. This year the category restrictions were blamed for the cancellation of the event when the same nearly happened last year due to the low entry. |
 Oops Glad to say the Easter 4-Day is back on in 2007 should have made sure I looked at 2007 events not 2006 |

I'm no longer actively involved but I have drawn the conclusion from reading comments on this message board and talking to my son that there does not seem to be the opportunity to road race without considerable travel that existed 5-6 years ago.
I guess that some areas, the North East for example, have more problems that the Midlands.
Perhaps this is something that needs to be analysed in greater depth by BC finding out the reason why a particular event is no longer organised? |
IMHO Im Unsure if it is certain areas!,as from my understanding there are not the races there were 10years ago across the whole of the uk!.. |
There's also more traffic, less cyclists and higher insurance costs and red tape than a decade ago |
really  |
